Hearing that Joe Hart has announced his retirement got me thinking, which Town players have ‘hung up their boots’ while playing for Town? Simon Milton springs instantly to mind, but apart from Phil Parkes (whose Ipswich ‘career’ was very much a postscript) I can’t think of any. I mean at the natural the end of a long career, not horribly unfortunate cases like Nydam. (Supple’s case is a very unusual one of course.) But there must be others, even if the lure of pulling on the blue & white stripes of Colchester has proven too strong for many. |  | | |  |

I think Jim Magilton is the most obvious of the 2000s era, but without the carrot of management he may have played on elsewhere. |  |

Quite of lot of the 2012 - 2020 era if that counts, most of them kept playing for a few years after though. |  | | |

We had a habit of giving one last contract to players released from where they had previously been good - See Jonathan Douglas | | | |

...and Mogga's last game was at Wembley. A fitting moment for him to retire. | | | |

He and Sonko were very good for that Reading team that stormed the league.
Just completely past it by the time he came here. |  |

Yes, generally nasty to anyone he came into contact with that he didn't personally know.
I was also there when he kicked the advertising hoarding right next to a ball boy who was about 13 or 14 and screamed at him, (and I do mean screamed), "Give me the ball now you fat little f**king c-nt" | |

Wilnis played for Grays Athletic for a season after us in the National League. Legwinski didn't retire so much as not find another club, had trials at various places. | | | |
